The Claim

A single high-heat-cooked meal providing dietary advanced glycation end products does not change subjective appetite ratings or subsequent voluntary food intake in healthy overweight adults, even though it induces measurable changes in ghrelin and glucose levels.

Description
1 study reviewed
In plain English

Eating one meal cooked at high heat, which contains advanced glycation end products, does not change how hungry people feel or how much food they eat afterward, even though it causes measurable changes in ghrelin and glucose levels.

See the scientific wording

Dietary advanced glycation end products from a single high-heat-cooked meal do not alter subjective appetite ratings or subsequent voluntary food intake in healthy overweight adults, despite measurable changes in ghrelin and glucose.

Why this might work

After eating a meal cooked at high heat, molecules called AGEs enter the bloodstream and cause a spike in the hunger hormone ghrelin and in blood sugar. But the brain and body do not respond by making the person feel hungrier or eat more, because other signals from the gut and brain cancel out the hunger signal, and the body adjusts how it uses the extra sugar without changing how much food is eaten.

    Even though eating a charred, high-heat meal made people’s hunger hormone and blood sugar go up a bit, they didn’t feel hungrier or eat more afterward — just like the claim says.
